And now a few veggies...

I must begin this blog with an apology to my tomatoes, bell peppers, random corn, and herbs. I don't know why I didn't take your picture this morning. Please don't take it personally...my coffee hadn't made it to my brain by that point. You will be the highlight of my next veggie post.

Let's Begin:
This is my first every Pimento Pepper to grow. I use canned pimento in several recipes, so I was curious about how it is fresh from the garden. I'll get back to you on my findings, but I sure am excited!


This short, fat cucumber will get longer in the next day or two and then I will eat him! I've eaten so many cucs from my garden, I may turn into one. I actually plan to use this guy for tzatziki sauce. Who's craving a chicken gyro? Can you tell I'm hungry?


Serrano scare hasn't affected us! I use these serrano chilies in shrimp with soba, guacamole, anything that needs a bit of heat! YUMM!


I have way too many cayenne peppers, so please send suggestions on how to use them!


This weekend I shall have fried bass (from our lakes), fried green tomatoes (from our garden) and this one lovely okra!


Note: I realize this is not a vegetable, but I had to share it with you.
I believe this is a Narcissus. I have lots of them in my garden and I just love them! They look like wizard faces to me sort of...don't ask for an explanation please.

Susan! Your veggie garden is awesome! It really is an inspiration. I wish I had some suggestions about what to do with all those peppers, but I am at a loss. Chip's mom gave us a bunch, and as I type this they are probably going bad in the fridge.
